I plan on getting braces soon, but only on my top teeth. It has been said it will cost me about $2500(Canadian). Are there any hidden costs? Like would I just pay the $2500 and thats all? Or do I have to pay for all the check ups as well? and what if a bracket breaks?
Braces!!!!?
Hidden cost depend on the type of contract you get. Most contracts/plans give a said price and that includes check ups and stuff of that nature, that may also include repair for 3 brackets or less but some orthodontist make you pay for your brackets after the 2nd or 3rd one broken. Just make sure you know what your plan entails and don't be afraid to ask your orthodontist about your plan its your money! (or well parents money)
good luck! =)
Reply:well if a bracket breaks your lookin at an extra 50-80 in repairs...trust me i have them and they suck!!!
Reply:It really depends on the orthodontist. Mine included repairs, but a friend of mine didn't have repairs included (like broken brackets or wires or the likes). I would give them a call and ask what exactly that $2500 includes. Does it include brackets popping off and emergency repairs? Retainers after the braces are done (you will need a permanent or daily retainer to wear to keep your teeth straight)? What about cleaning after the braces come off to get rid of the bracket marks and glue?
Don't be afraid to ask for references, and you can talk to them as well.
Reply:omg those are the cheapest braces ever! mine costed 4500 in AMErican money!
Reply:The $2500 is for everything. You don't have to pay for check-ups or brackets breaking. It's like a one time payment for all your braces and appliances and appointments.
Reply:does it look like I'm your orthodontist?!
Reply:no hidden costs unless sumtin goes wrong during treatment
Reply:Does it include the retainer? If a bracket breaks, I think it's covered, but ask your orthodontist. At the check ups you pay a little bit of the balance at a time. Great price!!!
Good luck!!! :)

Reply:I have my braces on and still have til May. My braces cost me $2700 for top and bottom. I make $115 monthly payments. I didn't have to pay any fees for checkups. The figure is already given to you for the X-rays, molding, etc. Just depends how your orthodontist payment plan. I'm not too sure about the brackets breaking, but know you pay for them. Just have to be careful when it comes to eating foods that are capable of doing that and bad habits like chewing on pens if you do.
